I hear you, buddy. Mine was the unit who lost the guy who’s ID enabled the Rhein-Main blast (so much for Military Intelligence, eh?). I didn’t hang out with Ed but did my share of partying in Wiesbaden and surely saw the bad apples who got him. There but for the grace of God indeed...
I STILL have frostbite problems from the Reforgers. Thank the Lord and Uncle Sam for the goofy insulated underwear!
Correction: Pimental was with an Ordnance outfit in Wiesbaden itself and was in and out of my HQ unit in Hoechst a few times like most everyone else around Frankfurt. Still, a sorry ass way to go thinking you’re on a lucky date only to get shot in the head over your ID card.
